EMP News

The EMP has started it's work with a kick-off meeting hosted at Heidelberg University from Jan 16th to Jan 18th, 2019. The meeting allowed the involved researchers to discuss details of the proposed projects. Furthermore, the project's first general assembly took place, electing the Joint Industrial Advisory Committee, the Industrial Advisory Committee, the Innovation Committee and the Dissemination Committee.

The European Microkelvin Platform will receive 9.98 M€ in the next four years from the European Commisson for supporting user access to its facilities as well as operating and updating the infrastructure. A specific call for user proposals will be issued shortly.

Comment Paper about EMP published in Nature Review Materials

In the comment section of Nature Review Materials a paper about the European Microkelvin Platform was published that discusses the purpose, the current status and objectives of EMP. Here find a link to the paper: EMP Nature Review Materials

EMP responded to the H2020-INFRAIA-2018-2020 call by the EC

EMP has submitted a proposal answering the H2020-INFRAIA-2018-2020 call by the European Commission. The call is about opening up the EMP fascilities for transnational users. In addition, it supports measures to improve the infrastructure, as well as related innovation projects.

This call is intended to encourage workers who might need ultralow temperature facilities but have none in their home institutions to make use of those offered by the EMP. You will find a list of the facilities we offer, how to contact the EMP, and how to express an interest on this web site.

Since 2017 the Technical University of Vienna is a new member institution of the European Microkelvin Platform. Its ultralow temperature facilites add a new dimension to the portfolio of EMP. With the addition of TU Vienna we will be able to cover in particular the needs of users working on strongly correlated electron systems even better.

One of the most advanced facilities in the world for quantum technology has been opened by the Chief Executive of the EPSRC of Lancaster University. The new facility will be open to European users via EMP.

EMP at LT28 in Gothenburg

EMP was advertising its facilities at the 28th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics in Gothenburg, which was attended by over 900 scientiests from all over the world. Many potential user came to the EMP booth to discuss possible projects.

This International Conference on Ultralow Temperature Physics ULT-2017 was held at the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics in Heidelberg organized by the EMP member institution Heidelberg University. More than 180 scientists from all over the world came to this conference to discuss the latest results from a wide range of topics.
